Qinyuanchun Introduction
Qin Yuan Chun, established in 1949 when the Nationalist government relocated to Taiwan, brings the authentic Wuxi flavors from the Jiang family, inheriting the essence of Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine and Shanghai cuisine. "Qin Yuan Chun" was named by Mr. Wu Zhi-Hui, an academician of the Academia Sinica at that time, who personally inscribed the name. The name evokes the pleasure experienced by scholars during elegant banquets, likening it to the joyous sharing of exquisite dishes, which resonates deeply with the heart. The restaurant is located on Taiwan Boulevard in the Central District of Taichung City and has remained at the same site for over 70 years, serving as a venue for gatherings of political and business elites, as well as heartfelt family dinners, preserving culinary memories from the past century and continuing to create unique and wonderful memories for every dining family. It is still solely operated by the eldest son, Mr. Jiang Shao-Yan, with the fourth generation, Jiang Long and Guo Wen-Chang, learning to manage and inherit the family business. With a foundation of aged dough, they insist on handmade silver thread rolls and various steamed dumplings and stuffed buns every day. The signature dishes follow the traditional characteristics of Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine, such as Ning-style eel sauce, river shrimp, Wuxi spare ribs, and Ning-style eel sauce, and they are beloved by food enthusiasts. It is also a must-visit restaurant for many free independent travelers from Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and local areas when in Taichung. From 2020 to 2024, it has been awarded the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand recommendation for four consecutive years.
